Official University of South Wales 2021 applicant thread

I'm Emma and I'm a mature student (35), I've surprised myself with how well I've done on my childcare course, so I've applied for 3 USW courses. The 1st (conditional acceptance received) was a USW Foundation degree in Youth and Social Care at Cardiff and Vale College, the 2nd is Youth and Community Work Inc Foundation Year and the 3rd is Education, Learning and Development Foundation degree through my current college, Coleg Y Cymoedd. Still waiting to hear back on the last 2. I didnt apply through UCAS as I dont have the grades, so USW advised me to apply direct. The wait is killing me for the last 2 now......fingers crossed.Good luck to everyone waiting!!

Hi @ThatWelshOwl (Emma), I hope the support I provided via email was useful. I have chased your application for you, you should receive a reply from USW shortly. Thanks for your post, please do get back in touch if I can help further Rebecca

I've applied for Natural History aswell as Natural History and Media. I'm currently studying an Access to Biosciences course. I'm also a mature student and terrified about making a decision for September.

Hi @DASH__ I have found your application, I will ask our admissions department to look into this for you, and will update you as soon as I can. Speak soon Rebecca

Hi @Auntie_Autie2019, it is great to hear that you have applied to study Natural History and Media with us, it is such a good course, a future David Attenborough! Have you received your invitation to attend an offer holding day in March - May? This would be a good opportunity to talk to your new friends and potential classmates coming onto the course. If you have any questions, please do let me know. Rebecca

Hi, I applied in January to USW for Adult Nursing but aside from an email about my fee status (I'm a UK citizen) I haven't even heard about an interview yet.. :-( is this normal?

Hi @pontypain, I like your name by the way! Can you DM me your UCAS number so I can check the status of your application please? We are still processing applications, so do not be too worried if you haven't heard back from us yet. No news is good news! Rebecca

Hi, i'll try now, I think I have to post two forum messages before I can DM, so this is my second!

HI @pontypain or if you can email me [email protected] and I can check for you. Thanks

Hi @pontypain, excellent news. Let me know if you wanted me to go through a mock interview with you. Well done Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, thank you for all the help!

Hi @DASH__ I'm just following up to make sure you have received a reply regarding your application? Thanks Rebecca Have a great weekend
